about Dinner Church


What is Dinner Church

Dinner Church is a simple way of doing church built around a shared meal, table conversations, and short Jesus stories. It’s designed for people who won’t (or don’t) attend traditional church but are open to spiritual conversations and community. If you can feed people and have conversations, you can start a Dinner Church.

Hear the Vision from the Founder

At the 2025 PennDel Ministry Summit, Verlon Fosner shared the heart, theology, and practical vision behind Dinner Church. If you’re a pastor discerning how this model could fit your context, this message will give you clarity, alignment, and inspiration for what’s possible around the table.
